Ridiculous.
Also, are straight people misappropriating the term "ally" now?
Yeah, that's not what misappropriation means. No one club gets to own a word in as common of use as ally. People have allys. Nations have allys. Various groups allys. You need to settle down and stop trying to own something nobody can own.
You do realize that no one is talking about the English use of the word here...
Again, I don't care what team/community/orientation/gender/race or even species you align with, you don't get to own the word. That's not how things work in any language.
We get it. You are slow.
Yes you are. You've picked a really stupid hill to die on here.
but hurry up and die already, would you?
Needed to get your alt downvoted some? Jesus, man, go back to reddit till you grow up a little.
what? we were talking about him dying on a hill. if he's going to do so, it would be nice if he'd hurry up with it.
Then why are you acting like one group of people is the only ones who get to use the term "ally"?
Ah yes, the super edgy fake leftist. It's been a while since I've seen one in the wild.
Geopolitics stole it, too!
Damn right!
those damn fake allies, secretly helping the nazis
I thought ally was an intersectional term? That is, it applies to support for any people with any characteristics that might be discriminated against.
Oh shut up
You first
Are you not aware that the word ally has been in use far longer than the contemporary connotation to which you refer has been around?
Shut up.
Suck my dick.
Hmm, I have a magnifying glass around here somewhere.
